Thunderstorms 'shake' Notre Dame Michiana falls victim to weather, ND campus receives harsh blows By DAVE TYLER News Editor

Strong storms moved through the Michiana area early Monday morning, caus­'ing some damage to the Notre Dame campus.

Wind, rain, hail, and ice, ac­companied thunder and light­ning, as storms barreled across the region, causing scattered power outages, downing trees, and leaving everything above ground level covered with a thin sheet of ice.

On campus, the statue of The Sacred Heart of Jesus was knocked off its pedestal when a tree fell over in the storm, causing some damage to the statue.

The statue was removed by Notre Dame Security, and taken to the Snite Museum so damage can be assessed, ac­cording to Dennis Moore, Director of Public Relations and Information.

Several other downed trees were reported across campus. .A large maple tree was felled

...

on North Quad outside of Breen Phillips. Another large tree fell near Notre Dame Avenue and Edison Road, blocking traffic for over an hour this morning.

"There were about 10 to 12 trees down all over campus," said Bill Thistlewaite, superin­tendent of Notre Dame Land­scaping, who added that it was due to the combination of ice and wind.

"You usually either get ice without wind or wind without ice," he said. "You don't see them at the same time very of­ten."

No major damage was caused by the storm, he added.

The accumulation of ice on the trees made them extremely top-heavy, according to Thistlewaite, and when the wind started to blow some of the trees toppled. He estimated that clean-up around campus would take two to three days.

"The (damaged) statue was looked at by the Snite Museum Director Dean Porter, who said it could be repaired," he said.

Some minor damage to the outside gutter system of Lyons Hall was also damaged by a

fallen trees. Northerp Indiana Public Ser­

vice Company reported power outages across Northern Indi­ana as a result of the storm.

Rough weather could con­tinue tomorrow.

"It looks like strong thunder­storms will pop mainly in the afternoon," said Thomas Spriggs a meteorologist with the South Bend office of the National Weather Service. "We could see our first severe weather watch box of the year."

Since early Sunday, the Michiana area has received over two inches of rain.

Malloy honored byCASA Special to the Observer

Reverend Edward Malloy, C.S.C, president of the Univer­sity of Notre Dame, has been appointed chairman of the new Commission on Substance Abuse at H i g h Schools established by the Center on Addiction a n d Substance A b u s e Malloy (CASA) at Columbia University.

The commission will exam­ine the extent and conse­quences of the use and abuse of all substances-including tobacco, alcohol. illicit drugs, inhalants, steroids and pre­scription medication-among the nation's high school stu­dents.

"Teenage drug use is such a critical issue because it is dur­ing this time of life that skills-academic, social, phys­ical-are developed and habits acquired which greatly influ­ence later success," said Joseph Califano, chairman and president of CASA and former and former secretary of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. "Recent reports that indicate a rise in student substance use and abuse after a decade of decreased use make the commission's work even more urgent."

Father Malloy chaired a similar CASA commission that issued a June 1994 report on alcohol abuse at American colleges and universities. He will be joined on the new

By PATTI CARSON Saint Mary's Editor

With room selections for next year officially made at Saint Mary's, it is time to select the hall councils of each dorm. Many tickets are promoting dorm unity, improvements, and service oriented projects. Elections are being held today during all meals at the dining hall.

There are a total of eight tick­ets running in a competitive race for hall council represen­tatives. Three tickets are run­ning for student support in Le­Mans Hall. The Simone Barber (president), Beth Ann Miller (vice president), Valerie Meyer (secretary), and Jennifer Hard­ebeck (treasurer) ticket stresses that its members hope to bring a sense of unity to the LeMans, especially in such a large dorm.

Now that the senior housing in Augusta Hall has been taken away, the ticket hopes to serve all classes, keeping in mind

that many seniors not living in Holy Cross have opted to live in LeMans, according to Barber. The platform includes a lec­ture series, an annual tailgater, and a hall mascot among other things.

"We also hope to maker in­nerhall improvements, begin­ning with VendoLand. The ventilation is poor as it stands," Barber said.

Another LeMans Hall ticket includes Angela Cataldo (presi­dent), Megan Borchers (vice president), Corinne Haan­raahan (secretary), and Kristin Wisniewski (treasurer).

"As far as service goes, we feel that Saint Mary's (through LeMans) can give more back to the community," Cataldo said. The Cataldo ticket includes a test bank for old exams and rentable SEGA games, coupled with service oriented projects like tutoring and volunteering.

The message of the Clare Heekin (president), Sandy Pen­ska (vice president), Shannon Heaney (secretary). and

Gretchen Fink (treasurer) tick­et is "Working To Unite Le­Mans."

Heekin's group hopes to achieve this unity through activities like a fundraising pic­nic, Christmas caroling in nurs­ing homes, intrahall competi­tions, and LeMans hall sports­wear among other things.

"Our ticket's greatest strength is our diversity. We represent a variety of majors and classes," Heaney said. "We hope to bring together a lot of perspectives, especially since students from all four classes will be living in LeMans," she added.

This ticket also hopes to pro­mote LeMans Hall upkeep as well as a LeMans Hall year­book, according to Heekin. Another goal is to improve rela­tions between the women of both campuses through the establishment of a sister dorm at Notre Dame, Heekin added.

Three tickets are also run-

my life. It is a matter that affects every aspect of my life: my work, my studies, and my social life.

The matter that I would like to discuss is the disrupting, change-greedy, reeking, railroad­track-jumping, vomit-provoking, time retard­ed, inebriated-infested Saint Mary's shuttle bus.

Okay, so I am one of those unfortunate Saint Mary's students who does not own a car, but do I deserve this kind of punishment? Sure, as a freshman all of the upperclassmen will tell you about the benefits of the shuttle. Today I ask, "beneficial for what?"

Let us examine the supposed advantages. First, the bus has a time schedule. A time schedule? What the schedule neglects to inform us is that it is actually a "tentative" schedule rather than an actual schedule. For example, if the schedule lists 11:02 as the time Of arrival, you can estimate the actual arrival of the bus to be anywhere from ten·minutes before to ten minutes after 11:02. Last December I lost a toe to frostbite while waiting for the shuttle. What the shuttle drivers don't understand is that every minute they spend driving ten miles below the speed limit, we, the passengers, spend solidifying into ice sculptures at the grotto.

People also claim that the shuttle. supplies an excellent carriage for fellow inebriated stu­dents. Hello! Has anyone out there had the memorable experience of riding the 2:03 shut­tle?

For those who have not, let me give you a lit­tle rundown: After waiting around 30 min­utes, you can stumble up the shuttle stairs, stick your nickel in the quarter-collecter, and discover that there is no sitting room on the bus. So you stand, which wouldn't be so bad if Goldilocks wasn't leaning on you for balance. Your headache worsens as the sounds of the Zahm Family Singers come at you from the back of the bus. Then, your fate is sealed; it has happened ... puke. The smell, the chunks ~welcome it all. You're not sure whether you should laugh or cry.

The ride from the Grotto to Holy Cross on the 2:03 shuttle takes around twenty-five min­utes. I really wish I knew which insane indi­vidual gave the drivers their licenses. They take their turns on two wheels and issue a four second elapse between the time the bus goes over a bump and the time it lands back on four wheels. If you thought Weekend Wheels was bad, try riding the 2:03 shuttle.

We, as Saint Mary's students, must rebel against these crucial problems of shuttle bus riding. I propose the following: First. the dri­vers will be required to take a sobriety test before their shift. Second, they must follow the designated shuttle schedule. Next, all rid­ers on the 2:03 shuttle will be given motion sickness bags upon admittance on the bus, and escorted off the bus in the event that any­one is caught singing. Finally, I propose that all shuttle stop areas be equipped with built-in heaters in order to prevent frostbite. Through adapting these proposals, we can bring an end to the dangerous world of shuttle bus riding.

Palestinian police arrest 112 militants after suicide-bomb GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip

Under pressure to crack down on Islamic militants fol­lowing suicide attacks that killed seven Israeli soldiers and an American student, Palestinian police arrested 112 activists in the Gaza Strip today.

Hospital officials said the student, Alisa M. Flatow, a 20-year-old Brandeis University junior who was from West Orange, N.J., died this afternoon after being wounded in the head with shrapnel in Sunday's suicide bombings.

The back-to-hack attacks, which occurred within two hours of each other and wounded 43, led to new calls from Israeli leaders for PLO chief Vasser Arafat to dis­arm Islamic militants in the PLO-run Gaza.

The Islamic Jihad group claimed responsibility for the first attack, in which a suicide bomber identified as Khaled Khatib drove an explosives-laden car into an Is­raeli commuter bus near the Kfar Darom settlement. Six Israeli soldiers were killed and 34 people injured.

A seventh soldier, a 20-year-old sergeant, died of his wounds today.

A short while after the first blast, a Palestinian car plowed into an Israeli convoy of military and civilian vehicles near the Netzarim settlement and exploded. Eleven people, including two young girls, were wounded.

Miss Flatow, the most severely injured, had earlier to­day been declared brain dead at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba.

Dole launches White House bid

Embracing the conservative agenda of lower taxes, smaller government and a balanced budget, Bob Dole launched his third White House bid Monday by casting himself as uniquely qualified to "lead America back to her place in the sun."

declared his candidacy for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination. "Let us rein in our government to set the spirit of the American people free. Let us renew our moral convictions and strengthen our families by returning to fundamental values. Together, let us reassert our rightful place as a great nation," he said. Dole, 71, entered the race with a scornful critique of President Clinton as a "clever apologist of the status quo," elected on a platform of change in 1992 but now fighting the change voters demanded in the Republican sweep in 1994.

New Yorker cover angers Christians NEW YORK

A New Yorker cover depicting a business-suited Easter Bunny crucified on a tax form has upset some Christians. William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said Monday that the illustra­tion is insulting to Christians and "particularly outra­geous" during the week leading up to Easter Sunday. The illustration. by cartoonist Art Spiegelman, shows a white rabbit in a suit and tie. He is in a crucifixion pose -arms extended, head sagging, legs together. His pock­ets are pulled inside out to signify his penury. The image is superimposed on one of Form 1040A. The title: "Theology of the Tax Cut." In a statement, Spiegelman said his drawing was inspired by the fact that April 15-the traditional tax deadline - falls this year on Holy Saturday. "As a citizen, I don't actually believe we are too highly taxed (although I believe our taxes are not being well used). Nor, as a grownup, do I believe in the Easter Bunny," Spiegelman said. "But, as a cartoonist, I believe in the power of images to provoke thought."

"To be absolutely honest, I had a few bevvies yesterday afternoon," he told reporters in Glas­gow. The Sun said Stewart, 50, disclosed his intention to retire as he took a break Sunday with his wife, model Rachel Hunter, in the French Mediterranean resort of Cannes. The gravel-voiced rocker started his career as a blues singer in the 1960s. He became one of rock's lead­ing male sex symbols.

U.S. tops in production of waste WASHINGTON

This country probably produces more waste than any other in history, a private group says. A study of the en­vironment in nine of the world's leading industrial coun­tries found the situation worse in all of them over the past two decades - most of all in France, and least in Denmark. "The United States is arguably the most wasteful - that is, waste-generating - society in human history." said the report made public Monday by the National Center for Economic Alternatives, a private group funded by American foundations. This is due to the huge size of the U.S. economy. For example, American families and small business produce 180 mil­lion metric tons of city waste a year, more than all the countries of western Europe together. The report took official statistics from the nine countries on 21 different causes of change in the environment, including emissions from autos and factories and the use of chemical fertiliz­ers by farmers. It combined the figures to produce a sin­gle "Index of Environmental Trends."

CLC discusses plans for recreational areas

Bryk: School reform needed

By AMY SCHMIDT Assistant News Editor

Plans for the recreational ar­eas which are outlined for the Burke Memorial Golf Course will be made available at the next Campus Life Council (CLC) meeting, according to Student Body President Jonathan Patrick.

In the first CLC meeting of the new presidential term, Patrick and other council members expressed concern about the areas near the golf course that will be available to students after the construction of Keough and O'Neill Halls.

Reverend George Rozum, rector of Alumni Hall, said that South Quad will be in need of recreational areas after the construction, especially for sports such as soccer and foot­ball. South Quad Senator Seth Miller also said that many stu­dents are already concerned with construction plans for the golf course.

"Many students have been asking, 'What are all these bulldozers doing here?'," said Miller. " It is the CLC's job to promote a spirit of openness and cooperation."

Assistant Vice President for Hesident Life Bill Kirk told the council that plans are already available, and a subsequent meeting will be planned with Mike Smith, director of facili­ties and operations, to address any further concerns.

Patrick also updated the council on the progress of the GLND/SMC Ad Iloc Committee.

"This group (CLC) has been instrumental in the creation of this body," Patrick said.

He said that an interim report will presented on May 1, although it is not clear at this time whether the report will be available campus-wide or just to faculty members.

Patrick went on to address the issue of football ticket ex­change. In the last CLC meet­ing, council members dis­cussed the possibility of expanding a ticket exchange program which was used for last season's Navy game. The exchange allowed students to trade in a student ticket for a G.A. ticket.

Patrick said that the CLC will talk with William Scholl, direc­tor of ticketing and marketing, to reach a decision about the exchange.

"Hopefully, we can finalize something for the fall next year," Patrick said.

CLC also opened the floor to any suggestions for next year's agenda. Among the suggestions are increased permanent study space and availability of less expensive, on-campus sites for dances. Patrick also suggested adding service mod­ules/experiential learning mod­ules to the Freshman Year of Studies Program.

Patrick said he is optimistic about the future, and hopes that the new CLC will build on the great working relationship of last year's council.

"CLC is a place where great things can happen," said Patrick.

Localism urged as vitalization for schools By MARK HUFFMAN News Writer

Democratic localism needs to be used as a tool for the vital­ization of the public school sys­tems, said Dr. Anthony Bryk, a sociology professor from the University of Chicago, who spoke yesterday at the Center for Social Concerns on Equity and Excellence in America's Urban Schools in the final lec­ture of the 1995 Visiting Schol­ars Series.

Bryk, acting as co-director of the Consortium on Chicago School research, played a key role in the reform of the Chicago Public School system. Starting in 1989, he led the charge against stagnating pub­lic schools in Chicago, the third-largest public school sys­tem in the country.

Bryk began his lecture by ad­dressing the idea that over the last fifteen years, all aspects of American schools have been fundamentally challenged, ranging from the new course requirements to increased teacher preparedness.

This reflection on, what Bryk said is a presently poor situa­tion, has forced the public to wonder if this widespread fail­ure can be attributed to factors outside the schools.

Bryk, the Director of the Center for School Improvement at the University of Chicago, defined it as an open system,

and he offered possible solu­tions to improve the schools' interaction with their environ­ments.

Among the multiple other theories that have been sup­ported by the federal govern­ment and other nationwi'de school officials, Bryk has devel­oped his own reform for Chicago - "one that embraces the principles of democratic lo­calism as a lever for institu­tional renewal."

Bryk currently acts as the consultant to the General Superintendent for revising research and evaluation func­tions of the Chicago Public Schools.

Intrinsically, his theory fo­cuses on numerous goals, all of which, if adopted, should cul­minate into a healthier learning environment, according to Bryk.

First, Bryk's reforms called for the establishment of local school councils (LSC) that have actual power within the infras­tructure, which aim to expand local participation.

Bryk, also, called for a "reshaping of the principalship wherein performance contracts are subject to Local School Council review" rather than the more traditional tenure. The principals' authority over their building and staff also needs to be increased so as to add flexi­bility to their decisions.

This recasting of the princi­palship must alter the position to be more horizontally-orient­ed, rather than having the principals reservedly looking to their superiors for approval in their actions, as they had in the past, Bryk said.

Other changes fundamental to Bryk's plan are the increase of teacher influence in the classroom through greater par­ent-teacher relationships, the redirection of school fiscal resources, the decentralization of the central office for the en­tire school system, and a more central pull toward academic improvement.

By studying the various poli­tics and approaches for each school, Bryk found correlations between positive school results with decentralized politics and systemic plans for success.

Surprisingly, though, his studies also showed a relative weakness between the school's basic characteristics and the school's performance levels, stressing commitment and ef­fort instead as keys to the school's future.

Eventually, Bryk said he hopes to receive "social support for fundamental changes," through the increased interac­tion with the community in or­der to challenge the status quo and move forward.

Bryk sees colleges and uni­versities in the nearby area extending toward these improved, decentralized schools, since interaction with students would be easier.

This key consequence to Bryk's reforms - increased suc­cess in secondary education - is his ultimate goal.

Bryk is a noted scholar on Catholic education, publishing "Catholic Schools and the Com­mon Good," which won the Willard Waller Award for the finest sociological research in book form. He is also working on a forthcoming book on the Chicago School Reform Act.

The Emily Broussard (presi­dent), Anne Geisler (vice presi­dent), Jessica Reimers (secre­tary), and Eileen Newell (trea­surer) ticket is also running in Holy Cross. One of the high­lights of this ticket includes Notre Dame sister dorms to improve relations between the campuses. This ticket also strives for a xerox machine in the lobby, an all hall welcoming brunch to introduce freshmen, and cable for the lobby televi­sion.

The McCandless Hall ticket consists of Kimberly Fleming (president), Courtney O'Rourke (vice president). Erin Johnson (secretary), and Cindy Kielkucki (treasurer). One of the ideas of the Fleming plat­form is a First Aid/CPR class. "This is something everyone should know about and since students aren't often given the opportunity to learn about it, we thought it could be an edu­cational experience. It would also serve to bring McCandless residents together," Fleming said.

Father Malloy has been actively involved nationally and locally in the fight against sub­stance abuse.

Representation outlined for 'new democracies' Lijphant makes government

. comparzsons By MORRIS KARAM N~wsWriter

When governments are cre­ated, governing power should not be sacrificed for propor­tional representation, accord­ing to Professor Arend Lijphant of the University of California at San Diego.

In his speech entitled, "Constitutional Choices for New Qemocracies," Lijphant com­pared the parliamentarian and presidential democratic sys­tems of government.

"New democracies have to make a number of choices as they move towards democracy and must not forget that the

government they create should be governed effectively first and foremost," Lijphant said.

When governments are cre­ated, the first decisions are the most crucial, according to Li­jphant.

"Once governments are set up, countries tend to not make any big decisions, so their ini­tial ones are very important," Lijphant said.

In comparing the electoral systems of parliamentarian and presidential systems, Lijphant concluded that parliamentary systems seem more represen­tative due to their greater num­ber of parties.

"The voter turnout indicates that people in nations with par­liamentary systems of govern­ment feel stronger about being fully represented," Lijphant said.

Conversely, Lijphant said that the presidential system is less

representative because it puts a great deal of power in the hands of one party.

"When choices are made, they may not be made for what is best for the constituents but for what is best tor that party in power," Lijphant said.

Nevertheless, Lijphant be­lieves that there is a tradeoff between good representation and good government.

"A presidential, or plural sys­tem, of government produces a single party majority able to make quick decisions," Lijphant said.

On the other hand, Lijphant sees slower decisions to possi­bly prove better in the long run.

"Maybe it is more important for the policies that government makes to be steady and thought out instead of quick so that they will have greater public sup­port and last longer," Lijphant said.

Murders connected

to CIA ByTOMRAUM Associated Pr~ss

WASHINGTON The White House insisted

today that an investigation of alleged CIA links to murders in Guatemala be "unsparing in uncov­ering all relevant facts."

In partic­u I a r , President Clinton wants to know if Clinton there was any U.S. involvement "directly or indirectly" in the slayings, according to a memorandum from National Security Adviser Anthony Lake to the head of an inves­tigatory panel.

At issue are allegations that the CIA had a Guatemalan colonel on its payroll who was involved in the killing of an American citizen and a guerilla leader married to an American woman.

Clinton on March 30 ordered a government-wide review of the matter by the Intelligence Oversight Board.

Today, the White House released a memorandum by Lake to Anthony Harrington, chairman of the oversight panel, specifying which questions the presi­dent wants answered by the inquiry.

• YEAH, BABY, You'o DIG IT THE Mosr •••

The gypsies are not operating the way they used to. They are no longer immune to the modern world. It's not for lack of romantic dreams. Gypsies can he found all over the world, yet here in the United States they live differently than they did hundreds of years ago, when they first made their appearance in Europe. The survival of nomadic Gypsies in our urbanized society has depended on one item - recreational vehicles otherwise known as RVs.

Kara Pavlik Perhaps "roughing it" with a campfire

and no toilet paper didn't appeal to many Americans, because the RV busi­ness grew by five percent in 1994, reporting its highest sales since 1978. And it should be added that nearly 60 percent of the worlds RVs are produced in Indiana (front page of the tourist brochures no doubt), with the majority of manufacturers located in nearby Elkhart County.

It's quite a shift in Gypsy living when middle aged Americans seeking a more passionate way of life are buying "alumaframes" often complete with hydraulic slide-out rooms. It wasn't so long ago that baby boomers grew up camping in the 1960s campaigning for simplicity. Ironically many of the same generation who want to share camping experiences with their children, are helping to spur the RV market .

However, it's not as though the RV market is only swarming with recon­structed sixties types. Elderly radicals come to mind when identifying the aver­age RV consumer. In fact, Holiday

• llOONESBURY

World RV Center, located in Elkhart, boasts that 90-year-olds, Buddy and Florence Schultz in matching powder blue jumpsuits, have enjoyed the RV lifestyle for over 26 years.

Thinking about the Schultzs, I can't help envisioning my own 85-year-old grandmother speeding around in a 25,000 pound RV. This is a woman who can hardly drive a Toyota in reverse. That's when I questioned Betty, a Holiday World RV sales consultant, of the type of drivers license needed to operate the standard RV. Betty, with fuchsia polyester pants and a toothy grin informed me that anyone with a stan­dard license is legal to drive an RV. Thinking about granny, this is a rather frightening fact.

Yet, when I checked out the interior of Holiday World's RVs, I understood what might inspire granny to purchase a RV of her own. RVs contain all the com­forts of modern living on wheels. Today's RVs enjoy features such as a ceiling fan, refrigerators with ice mak­ers, combination washers and dryers, and color T.V.s in both the living and bedroom areas. The spectacle of a vehi­cle with these options is breath taking to say the least. The 1996 model is even rumored to have a doorbell.

With all the features of a home in the suburbs, RVs are quickly gaining recog­nition as full time dwellings. Thus, Jayco, the biggest name in the RV industry, has identified "full-time" RV'ers (a full-timer is one who lives in a RV year round) in their advertising cam­paigns with the look of Norman Rockwell paintings. I would say this is a good analogy considering the shift in American living seems to be away from community and more towards personal independence. Actually, Rockwell, whose paintings usually portray homey incidents, might be commissioned to paint the full-time RV'er life if he were alive today. The Schultzs, no doubt, would be farmers.

Taking care of a RV that's roughly the

size of a small apartment is a challenge the experts at Holiday World wisely avoid discussing. Most RVs contain not only a full kitchen, but also a full bath. To accommodate for no built in plumb­ing, RVs have a "holding tank" with the capacity to hold 64 gallons of water, 32 fresh and 32 not so fresh. The not so fresh water must be treated with chemi­cals on a daily basis and emptied (I'm not exactly sure where) every other day. Holiday World's RV brochure features the Schultzs intently looking at hoses hooked-up to a metal box in their RV. When I questioned whether the average consumer could handle routine RV maintenance, Betty pointed to the cap­tion under the photo which read, "Your personal technician will instruct you on the proper operation of every system ... " For the price of one of these RVs (rough­ly $90,000 for a basic model), Betty should be included.

But responsibilities such as "tank duty" seem to be overlooked by fanatic RV'ers who are set off by the notion of a mighty highway, and whatever's waiting at the other end. Like Gypsies, RV'ers are wanders searching for freedom, seeking to fulfill adolescent yearnings -

GARRY TRUDEAU

--------------- --

for this they can't be blamed. It was Betty who stressed that serious RV own­ers require "Gypsy blood" and "the RV life is not for those who can't stand not having roots." I agree that it takes a free-spirit to invest in a RV. However, it's hard not to have roots when the RV holds everything but the kitchen sink (that's already included).

During a resent visit to Holiday World, Betty pointed out a model that was more in my price range. It was a pre-owned 1973 Pace priced at $3,522 with the sticker reading "unit as is." The high­light of this RV (which actually looked more like a giant ice machine on wheels, gravely different than the sophisticated models that I had previewed earlier) was a hand painted tire cover on the vehicles' back side which read "Where the Eagles Soar." Suddenly I envisioned myself, on the open road living the Gypsy life, behind the wheel of my own RV - with a painting of the Schultzs above my mobile mantle.

• HELPING HANDS

Seniors choose a life of service Graduate school? Corporate America? Every year, more Notre Dame

seniors are shunning these traditional routes for programs such as Holy Cross Associates. the Peace Corps, and Alliance for Catholic Education. This is the first of two articles highlighting those "helping hands" who will take part in the Senior Volunteer Send-off on May '!~ 20, 1995. By CAROLYN WILKENS Accent Writer

Service work is not sim­ply an occasional vol­unteer commitment for

senior Katie Glynn; it's an integral part of her life. Katie insists that the way to true service goes beyond the programs themselves. She speaks with clarity about her understanding of ser­viee as a "life commitment" a'nd looks positively to the post-graduation future, when she will become a full­time volunteer at Andre House, a Holy Cross organization in Phoenix, Arizona dedicated to provid­ing hope to the hopeless.

From what she has read and from her own personal experiences with service, Katin began to think of ser­vice as something much more permanent.

"I think of [service! as more of a lifestyle, or the way you choose to live," says Katie.

As a student at Notre Dame, Katie has volun­teered in a variety of pro­grams, including an intern­ship at the Center for the llomeless. She has also worked at the Center for Social Concerns for the past tbree years.

Katie already had the chance to become acquaint­ed with Andre !louse when she lirst spent time at the site for her summer service project. The experience had enough of a positive impact on her that when consider­ing her service options after graduation, Andre House became a natural choice.

"What attracted me to Andre House was that I wasn't going to be living with people who were the same. Living in the commu­nity with the homeless, we share responsibilities, we share struggles, joys, mass together, we eat together," she says.

"I would delinitely focus on the relationships as the most important part of it, and also the biggest chal­lenge. It's not a year off for me, it's like this is the way I ehoose to Jive. And whether it's at Andre House or living in the community with the family I'll have, it's going to be a lifelong commitment."

Katie Glynn

Brad Hunter

For his post-graduation plans, Brad Hunter looks across the

Atlantic to Europe where he plans to use his German language skills to work as a missionary and administer to the needs of ethnic minorities.

Brad first learned about International Teams, his chosen service program, after doing some research on his own time and writing to about thirty Christian organizations based in the United States. From the information they sent him, he was able to make his decision about which ser­vice program to pursue. International Teams is a 2 year or longer program made up ·of about 350 mis­sionaries in 24 countries. As a volunteer next year in either Austria or Germany, Brad will be working with the displaced people, "tend­ing to the physical and spiri­tual needs of ethnic minori­ties."

As a German and Government major with a concentration in European Studies, Brad feels that he has received the right kind of training to be prepared for the challenges he will face overseas. His involve­ment as co-president of Notre Dame's German Club also keeps him internation­ally aware.

"I did explore domestic service programs," he admits, "but I just felt called in this area. I have a love for the culture, a love for the language, a love for the people there."

A deeply religious person, Brad believes that searching "for God's will" was what led him to consider service after graduation, and says that the book that influences him the most is the Bible. According to Brad, service work goes hand in hand with religion.

"There's no doubt in my mind that Notre Dame has been a tremendous experi­ence for me," he says. "One element of the Catholic church which I've fallen in love with is this idea of putting your religion into practice. You know, actions speak louder than words."

W en Estela Apolinar peaks about her ervice work with

the Hispanic communities of South Bend, her voice takes on a charged quality and the importance of service becomes obvious.

Estela plans on working in the Southwest with Hispanic migrant workers and their families. Estela, who speaks fluent Spanish, hopes to learn more about her cul­ture, her religion, and her­self.

As president of CASH, a service organization at Notre Dame dedicated to the needs of the local Hispanic community, Estela has vol­unteered her time at each of the different branches of the program. On Tuesday nights, she works with El Buen Vecino as a Spanish translator at a South Bend health clinic for non-English speaking patients and their families. At other times, she volunteers at Clay Middle School tutoring ESL stu­dents, and also teaches a citizenship class.

"These people are so grateful just to have some­one talk to them and tell them what medicine they need," she explains. "No one there speaks English, and they're afraid to ask for help."

Estela, whose grandpar­ents were born in Spain and parents grew up in Mexico, credits her family for encouraging her to help oth­ers through service work.

"I obviously have Hispanic ties, but I haven't really been exposed to the migrant workers," she says. "They share a lot of things I share, but I've been fortunate. They have no stability in their lives. I have had the opportunity to go to Notre Dame through the help of others; otherwise I wouldn't be here."

She continues. "I think when we stop giving, we stop living. It's important that we give something. Whether it be money or donations or time. If you think about it, a year is not a long time if you consider what you're going to do with the rest of your life. You have many years ahead of you, and you're only young once. "

Estela Apolinar

Curtis Plaza

Curtis Plaza dreams of becoming a doctor after graduation. He

also dreams of becoming a lawyer. Thirdly and per­haps most importantly, Curtis dreams of helping people. That is why he has decided to take a year off doing service work. For Curtis. however, it is not simply a year off.

"I always make the mis­take of saying 'Yeah, I'm taking a year off after graduation to do a year of service,"' explains Curtis, "but no, it's a job. It's not really designed to be a vaca­tion. It's very much contin­ued learning. It's work. Most of these places are at least 9 to 5 jobs, and it's dif­ficult work: working with the poor, and possibly in sit­uations that might be frus­trating."

Yet, this is a challenge which he is excited to take on. Curtis is ready for a new experience, in which he could possibly make a posi­tive difference in people's lives, Jearn more about the legal profession through his service program, and also find time to think about what he really wants to do with his life.

While at Notre Dame as a pre-med student, Curtis gained some experience in the medical field by working as a medical aide on the football lield. Towards the end of his junior year, he began to consider law school as a possible career, and the different options it could represent to him. With a little research and the help of the Center for Social Concerns, Curtis came up with three service programs which he felt would give him the chance to help peo­ple, and also offer him some experience and insight into the legal field.

"At Notre Dame, every­thing is kind of peachy keen, but at the real level where the poor are concerned, they've been stepped on by a lot of different people and organizations, including the government."

"My motivations are two­fold. I would like to serve underprivileged people and realize how I can best serve them, especially in a career."

Persons interested in exploring post-graduation service opportunities or those who have already decided that they are going to participate in a year or two of service after graduation are urged to contact Mary Ann Roemer at the Center for .'-iocial Concerns to take part in the Senior Volunteer Send-off on May 20.

• MEDICAL MINUTE

Dippers and chewers beware By RYAN J. GRABOW N11.tionally Rcgistefed Emergency Medical Technician

Do you carry around an empty Snapple bottle or Coke can to use as a spittoon? Is the impression of a tin worn into the back pocket of your favorite pair of jeans? Can you and your friends imitate the "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance when you're packing a tin? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, your "nasty little habit'' may be a potentially fatal flaw in your personality. Many of you may have questions about this habit you started in high school ball or possibly even little league; others of you may think you know it all. Whatever the case, check below to see if you know .•.

Are Dipping and Chewing as addictive . as Smoking? Unfortunately, the answer is yes! Even

though chewing and dipping de\iver nico­tine, the addictive drug in tobacco, through a different route than cigarette, cigar. and pipe smoke, smokeless tobacco products contain and deliver more nico­tine than any other form of tobacco. An average size chew or dip held in your mouth for 30 minutes gives you as much nicotine as smoking four cigarettes, while a two~tin-a·week dipper gets as much nicotine as a 1 112 pack a day smoker. This high concentration of nicotine is what makes it so difficult for chewers and dippers to "kick the habit."

Are Dipping and Chewing safer than Smoking?

When comparing these habits to smok· ing, many like to claim they are "safe" because stnokeless tobacco does not con­tain tar and carbon monoxide, the most harmful ingredients in tobacco smoke. These people are under the assumption that since no one gets lung cancer from chewing or dipping they are safe forms of tobacco use. HOWEVER, when you con­sider the incidence of mouth cancer, throat cancer, gum disease, heart disease. and strokes among the 1 ~ million Americans who use smokeless tobacco, it's easy to see that chewing and dipping are definitely NOT a safe alternative to smoking!

What Danger Signs Should I Look For? One of the most serious problems asso·

ciated with dipping and chewing are white patches and sores inside the mouth. These leathery white patches develop where the tobacco comes in contact with the gum and cheek, and are caused by the cancerwcausing chemicals in the tobacco. Over time these white patches can devel­op into mouth cancer, so one must view them as a warning sign of a potentially fatal condition. In a recent study of over 400 major and minor league players, white patches were found in 69% of those who used two to three cans of dip per week. If you chew or dip you should in­spect your teeth and gums regularly for damage. White patches, red sores that do not heal, or a lump on your cheek, tongue, or gums should be viewed as a warning sign and prompt you to see your doctor or dentist right away.

Chewing and dipping are definitely tough habits to quit, but the necessity of quitting should be quite apparent -mouth and throat cancer can be t'atal! If' you catch it in time, you may gt~t lucky and only lose part of your tongue, lip, or cheek. To truly comprehend the dangers you face, stop by the Office of Alcohol and Drug Awareness in LaFortune and ask for the booklet "Beat the Smokeless Habit." The pictures inside will help you see just what you're up against! Good Luck and Stay Healthy!

Harris leading Lakers back to ~layoffs By BETH HARRIS Associated Press

INGLEWOOD, 'Calif. Seven games into the season,

Vlade Divac went to owner Jerry Buss with a bold predic­tion: The Los Angeles Lakers will win the NBA champi­onship.

Divac and his young team­mates are doing their best to make it a reality for Buss and first-year coach Del Harris after the debacle of last season.

The Lakers are 47-28 and al­ready have clinched a playoff berth. They had won seven straight at the Forum and 15 of their last 19 overall until losing 101-87 to the Western Conference-leading San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.

They are a season-high-tying 20 games above .500 for the second time, and are on pace to win 52 games or more. Only Dallas, which is on track to im­prove by an NBA-high 24 games this season, can top the Lakers' 19-game turnaround.

Instead, the Lakers are win­ning with three veterans and a bunch of youngsters who have no more than five years' NBA experience among them.

"I think a lot of people still don't believe in us," second­year guard Nick Van Exel said. "I really don't know what it takes, but hopefully we can surprise some people in the playoffs."

The Lakers finished 33-49 last season under three differ­ent coaches.

Magic Johnson lasted 16 games, long enough to discover he didn't want to coach players he later ripped for having self­ish attitudes and an unwilling­ness to work hard.

Harris has gotten better re­sults with some of the same players, including a renewed Divac. Also making solid con­tributions are Cedric Ceballos, who returned to his native Los Angeles in a trade with Phoenix, and rookie Eddie Jones.

"Big difference is last year at this time I knew I'm not going to playoffs, now I'm going to playoffs," Divac said.

After failing to make the playoffs last season for the first time in 17 years, this season looked like a rebuilding year.

Ceballos is averaging 18.8 points and 6.6 rebounds since returning from thumb surgery 11 games ago. At various times, seven different Lakers have been on the injured list, including Jones, who has since returned to the starting lineup.

Hillsdale next in line for Belles Angela continued from page 12

Although they had a shaky beginning to their season this

Spring, the Saint Mary's tennis team has hopes for a brighter future, beginning with today's home match against Hillsdale College at 3:00 p.m.

KAPLAN ' As documented in the May 1994 Kaplan LSAT Performance Study conducted by Price Waterhouse.

The Belles defeated Division I Valparaiso University last Tuesday, but suffered their biggest loss this season to Hope College on Thursday. According to coach Katie Cromer, the team will be ready for anything today when they face Hillsdale.

"We defeated Hillsdale two years ago and didn't play them at all last year, so we have no idea of what to expect of them." Cromer said. "We're just going to use this to our advantage and go out after them with everything we've got."

Senior Nancy Waibel com­mented that things have been rough for the Belles this Spring because- they've lost so many players. This resulted in a mid­season line-up shift, which moved the players into posi­tions they weren't used to play­ing at.

"Because we've lost some key players, we really have had to do everything we can to assimi­late to the changes and make the best of what we have," Waibel added.

Though now a team of only eight players, the Belles have not given up. Their efforts thus far have earned them an invi­tation to the prestigious Midwest Invitational Tournament which will take place this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin. This is an honor for Saint Mary's as only the top 16 teams from the midwest region are invited to the invitational.

If things were to fare ex­tremely well for the Belles at the invitational, they could re­ceive a team invite to the NCAA national tournament held in May. The invitational in Madison this weekend is also an opportunity for singles and doubles players to gain the recognition needed for individ­ual bids to nationals.

The Belles will keep these hopes in mind as they prepare themselves for action this weekend. A win against Hillsdale today would definitely set the ball rolling in the right direction for the Belles.

"We need to focus on playing Hillsdale today," Cromer said, "and then we can really start fine-tuning things for this weekend. For now, we're very happy just having received our invitation."

modating tennis, volleyball, and an official-sized basketball court. The lower level contains two racquetball/wallyball courts, as well as dressing and locker rooms. Gymnastics, dance, and fencing areas occu­py the balcony level, along with the Angela Fitness Center.

The Angela Fitness Center is the most commonly used re­source of the facility. Each month, the center is used al­most 2,000 times by Saint Mary's students. The center of­fers seven stationary bicycles, seven Nautilus weight ma­chines, four Stairmasters and various free weights. On week­day afternoons, the center also provides an excellent view of the gymnastics team's prac­tices. Unlike the rest of the ar­eas, however, the Fitness Center is restricted to females due to the insufficie'nt amount of weight equipment for men.

The main floor also sets stage to the aerobics program at Saint Mary's. The program costs only $10 per semester, and entitles members to attend all aerobic, body toning, total body workout and circuit train­ing classes. There are a total of twelve different aerobics classes in all, and the classes are held every day except on Saturdays.

The aerobics program is one of the most attended activities at the facility. Students enjoy aerobics classes not only because they are an excellent chance to get in shape, but because they are stress-reliev­ers as well.

"Believe it or not, I look for­ward to aerobics. I'm able to forget about all the stresses I'm under. and just relax for an hour or so," said sophomore McCandless resident Jen Hall.

Angela also provides several activities that are unique. For example, cross-country skiing equipment may be checked out anytime at no charge.

Also, Angela offers an indoor track, which is another favorite activity at the facility. The track wraps around the bal­cony in a square-like fixture. Although the track tends to get crowded on some weekday afternoons, many students enjoy it because it gives them the chance to walk, run or jog throughout the winter months. One lap around the track is 160M, so ten laps total a mile.

The facility also provides an

indoor location for the Saint Mary's sports teams to practice and hold their games when the weather is not satisfying. However, the Director of Athletics and Recreation at Angela, Jan Travis, sees a problem with overcrowding of the facility in the early winter months.

"Around the month of January, the facility becomes too crowded. The basketball team practices, the track, ten­nis. and softball teams are preparing for their seasons, and gymnastics, aerobics, and volleyball intramurals are all trying to take place as well," said Travis.

Besides being crowded due to athletic practice, the facility is also packed with exercising buffs during the months of January and February. During the two weeks we were here in January alone, 2,300 students partook in recreational activi­ties in Angela. During the month of February, over 5,600 students used the facility's recreational activities. Imagine that with over four sports teams trying to practice as well.

"The facility is always the most crowded during January and February because the stu­dents are preparing for spring break," said Travis. "However, I feel that Saint Mary's has out­grown the facility. The facility is no longer an establishment for our varsity teams. Rather, it is simply a facility designed for non-athletic events and recreational activity."

Travis claims that the facility needs to provide another dress­ing room for the varsity teams. Presently, the facility contains only one dressing room, and when varsity sports are held inside the facility, the Belles are required to share their dressing room with the oppos­ing team.

"The locker room setup is de­finately uncomfortable. It poses a problem at halftime and even before the game when you're trying to prepare yourself mentally for the game, and the opposing team is walk­ing through your half of the lockerroom," said Katie Lalli, a member of the basketball team.

Suggestions for solving the problem of locker room space have been discussed, but no solution has yet to be discov­ered.

Angela Athletic Facility is open Monday through Thursday from 8am-11pm, Friday from Bam to 9pm, • Saturday from 9am to 9pm, and Sunday from noon to 11pm. Anyone with a Saint Mary's ID, or a Notre Dame student who is accompanied by a student with a Saint Mary's ID is allowed to use the facility.

• MEN'S TENNiS

Narrow margins plague squad ByB.J. HOOD Spons Writer

Coach Bob Bayliss and his players on the Notre Dame men's tennis team know they took their hits early. . Playing against top competi­

tion. 4-3 losses occurred more than the team would have liked. Last weekend, the Irish once again tangled with a high­ly ranked opponent, but this time came out on top of Boise State by the familiar 4-3 score.

The Irish have been playing much better as of late, but they have been doing it against Big Ten teams they felt they should defeat. On Saturday. the Irish got a chance to show their im­provement against tough com­petition.

"It was a total team effort," said Mike Sprouse. "Everyone who competed won at least once, so everyone made a con­tribution."

Ryan Simme was defeated at number one singles, Sprouse won at number two singles, Jason Pun was victorious at number three, John Jay O'Brien and Jakub Pietrowski fell at number four and five, re­spectively. and Steve Flanigan won at number six.

Interestingly enough, Sprouse felt the large Boise State crowd helped the Irish. "The crowd worked to our advantage, be­cause it got me pumped up. I felt pretty good about my play."

Even though the number one doubles tandem of Pun and Sprouse was defeated, the com-

binations of Flanigan and Pietrowski along with O'Brien and Simme secured the doubles point with victories. O'Brien and Simme are 8-0 at number three doubles.

Sprouse feels the team has played well the last three weeks after being strengthened by the tough early season schedule.

Is the team playing at the level they need to be at this point in the season? "Yeah, I defmitely think we're getting to that level."

It certainly looks like the win­ners of four straight and nine of their last eleven are playing very well. Now. instead of tak­ing ·of the hits, they are delivering them, too.

Irish face slumping Illini By MEGAN McGRATH Sports Writer

Last week, the Notre Dame baseball team checked the weather report with almost as much urgency as they surveyed scouting re­ports.

Of their seven sched­uled games last week, two were postponed due to foul w e a t h e r . L-----::,........,-:-----:,----...J

including Sunday's MCC match-up with Wisconsin -Milwaukee.

Today, trend continues as the It:ish hope the rains stay away and allow them to take on Illinois at 5:00 p.m. at Frank Eck Stadium.

If Accu-View reports are wrong, the Irish will face an Illini team that has struggled of late. In a week-end series with

Minnesota, Illinois lost three of four games, all of them shutouts.

Overall, the Illini have posted a 13-20 record. They have just one batter above .300, and as a team sport a .260 average. The Illini pitching staff has a 5.08 cumulative earned run average.

Illinois will have to contend with a Notre Dame line-up that is hitting .311 and coming off a string of double-digit run out­puts.

In their past nine games, the Irish have topped ten runs five times.

The keys to the offensive pro­duction have been the top of the line-up.

First baseman Craig DeSensi moved to the lead-off spot 14 games ago. and since the move the senior captain has been one of the Irish's most consistent performers. DeSensi is cur­rently batting .354, fourth in the team. Last week he hit at a .400 clip with two home runs,

five RBI and ten runs scored. One of the hottest hitters last

week was sophomore Scott Sollmann. Sollmann went 12-20 in the five games to up his average to a team-leading .393. The leftfielder scored nine runs and drove in four.

In the third spot, sophomore Mike Amrhein owns a 13-game hitting streak to go along with a .365 average and 31 RBI. Amrhein has hit .381 in his 16 games since moving to the three hole. He has hit safely in 15 of those games.

But the most powerful offense has come from the clean-up position, in the form of junior Ryan Topham. Topham leads the team with 12 home runs and 49 RBI, and his .372 aver­age is second among the Irish.

Last week, Topham hit four homers and posted a 1.050 slugging percentage. Eleven of his last 16 hits have been for extra bases.

The Angela Athletic facility offers aerobics classes all year for students. There are stairmasters, too.

By CAROLINE BLUM Saint Mary's Sports Editor

You may know JACC but you may not know Angela. Angela Athletic Facility, Saint Mary's renown sports complex, takes a back seat to none.

Angela Athletic Facility (AAF) , which cost Saint Mary's a mere $1.8 million, was built in 1977. The building was designed by C.F. Murphy Associates of Chicago, who received several awards for their design of the building, ·including the 1978 Architectural Award of Excellence given by the American Institute of Steel.

Although Saint Mary's budget did not allow for a high price environmental system, Saint Mary's officials were insistent upon achieving energy savings. The roof contains high-quali­ty insulation which provides less heat gain and loss. and the walls are translucent in order to ensure low fuel consumption throughout the

year. The main floor of the facility is equipped with

a set of movable bleachers at each end of the floor, which allows the facility to seat over 18,000 people. Therefore, Saint Mary's uses the complex for several of their major events. It was used frequently throughout the Saint Mary's sesquicentennial for all-school masses and conferences. The facility also hosts the Baccalaureate Mass each year, activities dur­ing Senior Dad's Weekend, an inside com­mencement ceremony, ~1d several summer events. If Maya Angelou was to speak at Saint Mary's someday, she would speak in Angela.

This year alone, the facility has hosted the NCAA Fencing Championships and an Invitational hosted by the Notre Dame/Saint Mary's Gymnastics Team.

The twin-leveled, multipurpose center includes areas for a half-dozen sports. Three multi-use courts occupy the main floor accom-

Siegfried co01es up big against Drake Lord's absence creates chance for backup By TIM SHERMAN Associate Sports Editor

The situation was remark­ably similar. The outcome was significantly different.

Last Thursday, the 22th ranked Notre Dame women's tennis team was knotted at 4-4 with one match still to be complet­ed. The dou­bles match of the team of L a u r a Schwab and K e 11 e y 01 son '-----=:-:,.--------'

would be the deciding point in the match. The Irish came up short in that match, losing 5-4.

Sunday, the circumstance was much the same. With Notre Dame tied with Drake at 4-4, the only match still being contested was that of Schwab and Olson. This time, the senior/freshman combination came through, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, raising the Irish record to 12-9.

"It was good to see Laura and Kelley win it for us," Notre Dame coach Jay Louderback said. "They were the last ones out there against Northwestern and that is always tough when you lose. But they played well

Irish with one of their three singles point, as she cruised 6-1, 6-2 at number two.

"Laura has been playing real­ly good tennis for us. both at singles and at doubles," Louderback noted. "Her expe­rience is a real asset."

Another key asset for NCAA tournament-hopeful Irish was the play of junior Meredith Siegfried, who, entering the Drake contest, had seen very little action this season. Showing no signs of rust. Siegfried stepped right into the first doubles slot to join Wendy Crabtree in a crucial 6-1, 7-5 victory.

· "Meredith Siegfried was a big boost to the team," Louderback praised. "Drake's number one doubles team is good, but she played very well. It was good to see."

Siegfried's opportunity came as a result of Holyn Lord not being able to play due to a rule concerning the number of matches a player can compete in. Along with Crabtree, Lord has participated in additional tournament matches, hence needed to sit out.

"It was a little bit of a shock playing without Holyn because we hadn't played without ei­ther Wendy, Holyn. or Laura all year. Hopefully, we can do it again, because Crabtree will sit out against Miami of Ohio (on Saturday)."

That means Siegfried will probably be granted another chance to impress.

There are no sports today. Go outside and play with all of the

rwigs left over from the storm. Watch for downed power lines,

though. They're dangerous.
